Matthew joined the Department of European and International Studies at King’s College London as a Lecturer in International Political Economy in November 2023. He holds a PhD in Development Studies from the University of Manchester’s Global Development Institute. Prior to his appointment at King’s, Matthew worked as an Associate Lecturer and Research Associate while completing his PhD. His research sits at the intersection of development studies, comparative politics, and international political economy, focusing on the political economy of state-building and economic transformation in 'late' or 'late-late' development contexts, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, he is undertaking a British Academy-funded research project exploring the political economy of energy transitions and the adoption of renewable energy as a part of 'green' industrialization efforts in Ghana and Kenya. His current teaching responsibilities include courses on Power and Poverty and Political Economy of Financial Crises. Matthew has contributed numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters, enhancing the understanding of energy landscapes and development dynamics in African contexts.
